Transmission Trick
I read on an earlier post about a switch on the ALDL connector between pins A and F and was wondering how it works and how you use it and will it work on 91 transmission

Re: Transmission Trick (smacko)
they're talking about locking in the torque converter manually. its an old racers trick. it'll give you a couple more mph in the quarter. be forewarned though. this will burn up the clutch material in the stock converter.

Re: Transmission Trick (MrNuke)
Why not just change the force lockup setting in the chip?
Stock is 90Mph at WOT, set it to like 40 and it'll be locked mid 2nd/3/OD throughout a 1/4m pass.

Re: Transmission Trick (rsafier)
I too read that article. I'm VERY interested in this. the TPI is a torque motor too, so maybe it will take advantage of it. I'm doing my own chips, so i can have a ton of chips set up for street, track, economy... etc. But I do have one question about this torque converter business. When you jump A to F. Do you shift it manually or stick it in drive? I usally drop it in 1st, then manually shift all the gears at the track. How should we do this???
